Have You Thought of Starting a Business With Your Half?

Valentine's day is just two days away and prior to it we would like to give you some food for thought by telling you about Kevin and Julia Hartz. This couple founded Eventbrite in 2006 in San Francisco, California and successfully develops the company until these days. It is valued at more than $1 billion.

Before founding Eventbrite, Kevin Hartz, Co-Founder and CEO of Eventbrite served as Co-Founder and CEO of Xoom Corporation (NASD: XOOM), an international money transfer company. He has served as an early-stage investor and advisor to successful startups including Paypal, Pinterest and Airbnb (Eventbrite, 2016).

Similarly, Julia didn’t start her career right from Eventbrite. Prior founding the company, Julia served as a television development executive at MTV and FX Networks. Now she is building, evolving and sustaining the growing team of 500 employees and award-winning company culture (Eventbrite, 2016).

There are a lot of examples of couples who founded their own business together (Forbes, 2014), thus you can do that too. In case you have questions along the way or have doubts about where and how to start, we are here to answer all your questions.
